Jet li is berra in terms of skills sha, They are both martial art legends , Unfortunately there has been no replacement.---- stephen chow star of kung fu hustle and shaolin soccer. My own view is that both are good in what they do. Jet li for instance is good with effect but you don't just apply effect on any garri drinker but he also has the background martial arts knowledge people don't give him credit for. Jackie chan has also done tricks too most profound in tuxedo. Both did a film together some years back "the forbidden kingdom". Jackie's latest is 1911 revolution and li's latest is The socerer and the white snake. |
I shake my head, wanting to change the place of my birth but overdue it is. Mediocrity is an understatement, Nigeria celebrates failure! Imagine a disgrace, someone who couldn't bear the wrath of his own doing by shaming every male alive and unborn with his impostor act. Now he is the chair of an ELDERS forum, I wonder if the english have eroded the meaning of the word. Disguised as a woman the governor of bayel, You know the rest. I fear the future if their ever will be one with the GEJ and co are going about it. YES!!! I have lost faith. God help us all |
